It's cool! Pocket PC recognizes English & speaks Chinese

[andrew_t]

I found the program that recognizes my voice, translates from English to Chinese and speaks Chinese phrases!
It's really working on iPaq! Does anyone know Chinese, tell me about its pronunciation - could the Chinese understand it?

I have downloaded the English to Spanish versoin (a language that, unlike Chinese, some of us can understand), and, despite it's strides to provide a bridge between languages, it comes up shorter than expected.

You can only understand phrases already entered in to the database, so there is no reason to speak, you can just tap on the phrase and it will say it for you (which is almost like a translation dictionary without having to figure out pronounciation).

I'd suggest trying this product for yourself, as it is pretty cool nonetheless.
